Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Salad Base

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the romaine lettuce, roasted corn, red onion, bell pepper, tomatoes, avocado, Chihuahua cheese, and black beans. Toss gently to mix all the ingredients.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    Grill the antibiotic-free chicken breasts over medium heat for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked. Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Salad

    Place the mixed salad base on individual plates or in a large serving bowl. Top each portion with sliced grilled chicken and sprinkle tortilla strips on top.

  4. 4

    Dress the Salad

    Drizzle ranch dressing over the salad to taste. Serve immediately.
